Towards a Design Theory for Community Information Systems
Virtual communities are complex and evolving socio-technical systems. The design of community information systems requires much theoretical research to solve design problems. A design theory is a prescriptive theory which helps optimize design methods. Community IS design theory is still very young and fragmented, however. In the design theory development process, a mix of theory components is ...
متن کاملA Systems Approach to Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure Design for Utility Management Automation Systems
Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...
متن کاملThe design construct in information systems design science
This paper arose from concerns regarding the current conceptualizations of ‘design’ in the emerging literature on design science (DS) in information systems (IS). In this paper, we argue that current conceptualizations of design in IS are overly narrow, which necessarily limits what is viewed as acceptable DS research. In response we advance a more encompassing view of design. The revised view ...
متن کاملValidating the Information Systems Design Theory for Dual Information Systems
Conceptual designs of most information systems (IS) reflect a design/use dualism of technology making it difficult for users to be responsible for computerized aspects of work. The IS design theory (ISDT) for Dual Information Systems (DIS) helps bridge the design/use dualism. Its validity has not been studied empirically. This paper presents and applies a model that helps examine the validity o...
متن کاملControl system design for mechanical systems using contraction theory
Contraction theory is a recently developed control system tool based on an exact differential analysis of convergence. After establishing new combination properties of contracting systems, this paper derives new controller and observer designs for mechanical systems such as aircraft and underwater vehicles. The classical nonlinear strap down algorithm is also shown to be marginally contracting....
